Definition of Profilometer. Meaning of Profilometer. Synonyms of Profilometer

- A profilometer is a measuring instrument used to measure a surface's profile, in order to quantify its roughness. Critical dimensions as step, curvature...
- macrotexture using measurements taken with highway speed laser or inertial profilometers. Megatexture (MeTx) is a result of pavement wear and distress, causing...
- three families: Topographical instruments: contact and non-contact 3D profilometers, interferometric and confocal microscopes, structured light projectors...
- measurement stylus across the surface; these instruments are called profilometers. Non-contact methods include: interferometry, confocal microscopy, focus...
- surface condition with sophisticated equipment such as laser/inertial profilometers. These measurements include road curvature, cross slope, asperity, roughness...
- and form in 3D at the microscopic scale. The software is dedicated to profilometers, 3D light microscopes ("MountainsMap"), scanning electron microscopes...
- microscopy, photogrammetry and non-contact profilometers. The most common method is to use a diamond stylus profilometer. The stylus is run perpendicular to...
- of a (Ra = 3 μm) roughness calibration sample (as used to calibrate profilometers), from 2 scanning electron microscope images tilted by 15° (top left)...
- industrial and bio-medical applications. Novacam's fiber-based optical profilometers and Optical Coherence Tomography (OCT) systems are based on low coherence...
- roughness), but more generally a surface profile measurement is made with a profilometer. These can be of the contact variety (typically a diamond stylus) or...
